Bear kill with .60 flinter

[peter hawbaker]

I killed a black bear a few days ago with my .60 Virginia Long Rifle. Range was approximately 30 yards, bear dropped where it stood. Here is a link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS9NI5WWN8Q

Way cool! Was that in the very early morning hours; I notice it was quite dark?

Thanks everybody, load was 120 grains 3F with a .595 PRB. I shot the bear in the front of the near shoulder, recovered the ball in the abdominal cavity. Ball expanded to over an inch in diameter. The bear dropped immediately, as can be seen, without "spining" him. The time was 1:15 AM. Here in the interior of Alaska it does not get dark this time of year, just dusky between midnight and 3 am or so.

Good shooting on the bear.

I don't know how you can stay up that late and still be able to make a good shot.
My wife, kids and I spent a week in northern Canada fishing one July. It got dark at 11:30pm and sun was rising again at 3:15am. I was never so tired in my life as I was at the end of that week. :surrender:

Good shot RokLok. I probably couldn't find my rear sight when it's that dark!
